Addto thiat the fact that It feeds the tnajority ot Its cmployes, and lodges o guodly number of them, and it wil bo scen that the Bon Marcho Is by 110 means an unfimportant or ordinary estabiish- ment.

A third means of expediting justlce would {nvolve somo thorough rovision and reversal of our present systom of sllowing the Cireuft Judge bofore whom a cause has been tried to set asfde the verdfet whenever the jury have found one which he docsn’t llke, It fs truo thero {s n farcleal pretense that the Clrenit Judges cxerefsc this power pursuant to certain rules; but, as there 18 1o nppeal from thelr or~ der setting nside u verdict, thero is no menns, except impeachment, of holding them within rales which have beon established lu States hay~ Ing a different system.

The Judge who tried tho causo has notice to be present aud furnish his minutes, but he takos no part in the declsfon. Under such a system, tho evident effect of the motlon for a new trial is tunrnc-l from the rullngs of the Judge who tried the cuuse to his sssoclates in the sama Court, and thus to correct Lis orrors. Incldent- ally, but very aparinely, the Court will set uside the verdict for want of evidence, or for very trross conflict with tho evidence; but this isonly whera the conflict {s 80 ereat as to lmply mis- take or gross misapprehension among the Jury. But, where thie motlon for a new trial {s mado heforo the sama Judge who tried the cause, and, it it provails, cannot be appealed from, it bo- comes, In fact, un apocul on the fucts from the verdiet of the jury, to the Judire; than which 10 mors Infamous traversty upon the system of triel by jury could be conoeived by the wit of man or devll. Instead of * avalling to correet the cerrors of the Court, it gives him supreme control of the Jury on those very questions of fact for whicl'the jury are called, This Irresponsible power liolds ‘both jury and counsel surpllum amd cringfog at the Teet of the Judye, since counsel know thut the verdlet of the jury Is worthless uniees it pleases the Judge, Aud‘icl Hilinofs, with this wretehed millstone around {ts nuck, of an uppesl from the jury to the dudge on the farts, bonsts that 1t adininisters Justics sceording to the Enelish common-law systom!
